Legacy Lives: Gloria Rogers
July 1, 2025

Resident Spotlight

Gloria Rogers was born in September 1932 to John and Irene Hatcher in Doerun, Georgia. She has fond childhood memories of playing with her brother Roy, and sisters, Betty and Twila, especially when they visited their grandparents and got to play in the woods.


Gloria met the love of her life and husband of 42 years, Roy Rogers, when she was quite young. They started a family having five children, Dennis, Mark, Melanie, Suzanne and Margie. Now the pride of her life, Gloria’s family has grown to 11 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and 9 great-great-grandchildren. Her favorite memories are of times when the family would gather together for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at her daughter’s home.


Despite having five children, Gloria was still able to complete college, and she took a position as a Secretary for Riverside Manufacturing, working there for 15 years. She then took a position as a Secretary for the Board of County Commissioner for Colquitt County, where she enjoyed doing the payroll for the County until she retired in 2009. Gloria is also an accomplished pianist, having played for her church, Mt. Sinai Baptist Church in Doerun. Had life turned out differently, Gloria says she would have pursued piano more.


Gloria became a resident at Legacy Village at Park Regency in June 2016. She loves playing bingo, but she mostly enjoys the fellowship she has with the other residents.
